THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1921.
Mo. members of the finance committee are: Thornton Cooke, Columbia National Bank, Kansas City, chairman C. H. Tucker, Lawrence, vice-chairman C. H. Cluster Woodward, Topical Irving Lawrence; L. J. Sweeney, Lawrence.
The bids that were submitted to the executive committee last week were as follows: A. R. Stimson, $429,828; United Construction Co., $469,843; Higgs Construction Co., $555,758; Gigel Construction Co., $875,966.53; A. S. Hocker Co., $481,214.1.
Just what is the Memorial and what progress has been made toward realization of the memorial structures are question, asked frequently by Summer Session students. Here are some answers!
The Memorial is a project to raise one million dollars by popular subscription on the part of friends of K. U. to make possible the building of two important Memorial structures with a state of James Woods Green.
The two buildings, the Stadium and the Kansas Union building will cost in the neighborhood of $500,000 each, and will be a permanent memorial to the services of the one hundred and twenty-six K. U. students who died in service. Explanation of the purposes of these buildings are given in other parts of the Summer Session Kansan.
To date the pledges toward the million-dollar goal total nearly $800,000, these being agreements to pay this amount during a period of four years. All pledges are made on this basis.
Last November the Kansas University football team staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of the gridiron when the Jayhawkers tied Nebraska 20-20 by scoring three touchdowns in the last half. The following week the students and faculty of Kansas City staged a campaign long to be remembered and pledged $260,000. Topeka and Shawnee kept up the high standard and in June pledged $141,000. In each case the goal or quota set for the local campaign was more than met. On July 11 the team went on to win at Tucson then Atchison will follow July 18. Preparation for the campaign will continue during the summer under the direction of W. J. Baumgartner, organization secretary for the Memorial and known as the man chiefly responsible for the Memorial progress, so that next autumn the local campaigns will be continued where there are attacks by U. S. players interested in the development of the school and in honor of the memory of the K. U. students who made the sacrifice.
Students of the University and faculty members took the first step toward the success of the memorial April 1919, when the overseas men were returning. Chancellor Strong appointed a memorial committee whose investigations revealed the fact that the union and the Stadium had been formed for the K U. Memorial. Then it was decided to provide for the two in a million dollar project to which the Green Memorial was added.
The affairs of the Memorial are directed by a board of directors acting under a charter issued to the Association. Chancellor E. H. Lindley is

EXTENSION PICTURES TONIGHT IN FRASER
A Five Reel Comedy "Pots and Pans Peggy" and Two
Features
The entertainment committee has announced a program for the Summer Session students which is to take place this evening at 8 o'clock in Fraser Hall. It will consist of seven or eight reels, made up of a five-reel comedy drama, "Pets and Pans Pegg," followed by a one reel feature, "Shep's Race with Death," and one reel called, "The Children Hour."
The films will be provided by the Extension Division, and are available for rental purposes to be used in school entertainments throughout the state. The films selected for the program are especially popular, and are in great demand during the school year.
The program at first was to take place on the campus, but it, it was thought that the lantern was not sufficient to entertain a large crowd out doors.
"All who like entertaining wholesome pictures are especially invited to be present this evening," said Prof F. P, O'Brien this morning.
Interesting Exhibition By Physical Department
On Friday evening last, the women's classes of the Physical Training Department gave an interesting exhibition on the campus in front of Fowler Shops. Many of the spectators joined in the festivities, which is a privilege to have in their hands. The Summer Session students were anxious to join these classes, but were unable to arrange their schedules to do so. These occasions give them an opportunity to join in the work, and get into touch with its practical demonstration. On this occasion, many of the students enjoyed the exciting relay games to the fullest extent.
Miss Mildred Andrews, of this department, will have charge of the work on the campus this evening at 7a5'04 ock. Games and community singing will characterize the evenings' entertainment.
Two More Sessions of the Journalism Round Table
Two more sessions of the high school newspaper round table for teachers, editors and business managers will be held Wednesday after afternoons in the Journalism building. Next Wednesday Prof. H. H. Herbert will conduct the conference on methods of directing the publications and choice of editorial and feature materials.
The gathering of the news was explained by Prof. F. W. Dillon at the conference Wednesday, at which time was urged the securing of the cooperation of students, teachers, graduates and townpeople, necessary in making the publication a complete newspaper useful to the progress of the school and education in the community.
Rectal Given by Inif Garrison
A piano recital was given Thursday evening, June 30, in Fraser Hall by Iliif Garrison. A good piece of the show being about two-thirds fall, Mr. Garrison's playing was appreciated by the audience, and was quite well given with the exception of the Polonaise in a flat by Chopin, which was played with an amateur touch. For an encore Mr. Garrison played a sonata by Mac Dowell.
Prof. H. H. Herbert met with the round table and conducted the teachers and high school leaders on a tour of the Kansan printing plant where Supt. Guy M. Pennock assisted in explaining the operation of the machinery.

DANIEL CHESTER FRENCH,
Sculptor, Who is to make the "Uncle
Jimmy" Statue.
Do you know the relationship which exists among these three pictures? That Daniel Chester French, the maker of the Lincoln memorial is to make a statue of our beloved "Unchum?"
We are subserving willingly to the Stadium because our physical comfort and pride demand it; and just as willingly we will subscribe to the Green memorial because our hearts demand that we give thanks to God. We are heroic size of a man whose qualities of mind, of heart, whose great soul and noble character are be-

yod description, but which made a lasting impression on everyone who met him, and influenced the life of every student who knew him since he was first a professor in the School of the University of Kansas in 1878.
"UNCLE JIMMY" GREEN,
To the boys he was a father pro-
fessor, and as Chancellor Lindley had said, he was Lincoln-like in his de-
votion to men. And since he was Lincoln-like what better person could have been chosen to make his statue than the man who made the beautiful Lin-
coln memorial—Daniel Chester French?
Mr. French studies the character of each man he portrays. In December he attended the Kansas City banquet

of the K. U. Laws, when Uncle Jimmy was byged in those who knew and loved him best; and he said, "I have never seen such love for a man as this, unless it be in the case of Lincoln." Later he sent the architect, Henry Bacon, to Mount Oread to study the campus and find the site which would give the statue he is to make appropriate settings and surroundings.
The statue which will cost $40,000.00
will be a source of pride and pride
in our University and the
distinction of having the work of French
artists over over

our dead Dean — M. M.
TEACHERS WILL FEAST
The beach seems to be setting women's styles in Chicago; it is perhaps fortunate that Potter Lake exerts so such marked influence on the campus.

Burges Johnson Addressed Tuesday Convocation
Burges Johnson, former editor-in-chief of Judge and new professor of literature at Vassar College, delivered a chaty sort of talk on literary men and the literary shop, in a convoction Tuesday morning.
"Commercialism and artistic visions do not go hand in hand," he said. "Man must communicate his inspirations to other men; and out of his desire for communication has grown the literary shop," he said.
"At the head of the literary shop,
he continued, "is the author. He is
never a great writer. If he is both
a good writer and a good author one
ability will in time kill the other."
JOHNSON has also had experiences in experience having been connected with the editorial departments of Everybody's and Harper's, and having personally known many great editors, and writers, among Henry, Gillam Bill, and Mark Twain.
Chancellor Lindley Speaks in Warrensburg
Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock Chancellor Lindley addressed the summer session students at the State Teachers' College at Warrensburg, Mo. Dr. Lindley chose for the sub-committee 'Pioneers on the Teachers' College."

Crissman, is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and has been trained by George O. Foster, Dr. F. C. Allen was director of athletics at the Teachers' College previous to taking up his work here, and has many friends in Warrensburg who are watching his efforts here with him. Doctor Linder Lindley said on his return.
Famous Architect Views Campus For Statue Site
STADIUM-UNION DRIVE WILL OPEN THURSDAY
Henry Bacon, considered by many the foremost architect of the United States, arrived from New York last week to advise as to the site of the "Uncle Jimmy" Green Memorial statue, on the campus. He asserted that the University of Kansas had one of the most beautiful sites for a campus that had ever seen.
Daniel Chester French, one of the foremost sculptors of the world, is to execute the Green statue and Mr. Bacon was here to choose the site for him. Two or three locations were
Campaign Will be Conducted Among Summer Session Students Next Week
PRUNTY HEADS COMMITTEE
Meeting of Workers Wednesday Night Selected Leaders to Direct Work
The Stadium-Union Memorial campaign among the Summer Session students will start next Thursday morning at a convocation in Fraser Chapel, which will be addressed by Chancellor Lindley, who will explain the meaning of the whole Memorial movement.
A convoction Saturday, tomorrow morning, will be called at 9 o'clock. Dr. Forest C, Allen will be the speaker of the day and will tell the summer students of the relation of the Stadium to athletics and the physical development of students. It is desired by the executive committee that every summer session student be present.
Merrie Prunty, chairman of the committee, said this morning that the summer session drive was highly important in that it was to educate the teachers who are here at summer school as to the real meaning and importance of the Stadium and the Union, so that when they go out among the people of the state this winter they can become leaders in the state drives and in spreading the news of the era at Kansas.
At a meeting Wednesday evening of student workers the executive committee for this drive was formed with Merle Prunty as the head, Florence Bliss, secretary, and Ruth Miller, Adrian Reynolds and Alfred G. Hill at publicity workers. The captains are William Horton and follows: Glendale Griffith, Maune Meyers, Margaret Lorimer, Dorothy Stanley, Marjorie Rickard, Maume Elliot, Mitchell, Anne Mitchell, Henrietta Mitchell, Lucie Hilldinger, Dorothy Keeler, Spencer Scenner Bayles and Lola Lindsay, R. C. Brown, Ed. Ellipse, Shirley Peters, Sandy Wilson, Hoover, George Gould, Guy Daniels, Hoover, George Gould, Guy Daniels, Paul O'Leary, H. O. Beal, H. C. Fiske, L. E. Harms.
One hundred dollars a person has been suggested as the minimum amount to be asked of the alumni who are attending summer session. In the drive at the University of Missouri, nothing less than this amount was accepted and it is expected by the captains that the alumnus of the university will be liberal as were those at "Mizzou." Of the 600 women enrolled in summer session, 125 are already subscribers to the Memorial fund, while 285 of the 568 men have added their bit to the subscriptions. Every man and woman in the University will be solicited before the drive is over. Another meeting of the executive committee will be held the evening after the Hall for further plans for the drive will be worked out. Each captain is asked to select one lieutenant and take him to this meeting.
Large Attendance in Educational Seminar
The educational, seminar met last Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. F. H. Barbee, principal of an elementary school in Kansas City 'Ma., reported on "Educational Value of Corrective Gymnastics for Physical De-venture" attendance has been from fifteen to eight at all meetings held thus far.
The graduate conference group discussion at the meeting next Tuesday at 5:00 o'clock in Green Hall will center about the subject of "Comparing the Results of Instruction in One Teacher School and Grade Schools."
